In case it wasn’t super clear, I actually referring to the loop in, uh, knitting. When I was little, I had this picture book by Kazuo Iwamura, titled “14 Tikus” (Fourteen Mice) — it’s a series of a family of mice, fourteen of them: from grandparents to grandchildren, and their daily activities and adventures in…

I’m SO happy with this drawing. This is one of the drawings that I go, “yep. THIS is exactly what I want.” The prompt (“Moon”) made me super excited because it’s one of my favorite subjects: Sailor Moon? Batara Kala versus Batara Chandra? Apollo 17 astronauts singing “I was strolling on the Moon one day”?…

When you finally at home with high-speed Internet connection. I got a bit or art block on this, and I got slightly nervous for tomorrow’s to-do list (I have to do something about this anxiety of mine.) All in all, I’m quite happy with this and I’m learning depth on this drawing.

I always use flash/torchlight/flashlight whenever I take my drawings for clearer image but it seems like the black marker reflecting the light. Oh well.

I’m currently in a vacation (staycation) and we are literally in the middle of Malacca Strait and, well, the data connection is not super great. Anyway! No Little Cat but still with little critters (part of the story, I guess?) I really enjoy drawing the little mouse on the tub.

I don’t know if I should be proud or crying about this drawing. The prompt is “Tick” and immediately I thought of clock tower (tick-tock.) Now, I never seen a clock tower in my life. Well, maybe I had, but never the ones you see in picture books — the ones you see on European-style…

I’m frustrated. I found myself having difficulties drawing Little Cat’s facial feature and expression. I’m not satisfied with this drawing, and I feel I can improve more on this (filing this under Redraw Series after Inktober.) My favorite part on this drawing is the frog, though.

The tree fairy is inspired from Walt Disney ‘Silly Symphony: Flowers and Trees’ (1932)

Once upon a time, Batara Kala looked at the Moon and thinking that the Moon looks so yummy and decided to take a bite out of it. Little did Batara Kala know, the Moon is actually a lemon and it’s really sour! Poor Batara Kala. Read more about Batara Kala and the myth of eclipse…
